Three long-haul flight tips for Nashville?

Travelling can be tiring, but you can arrive refreshed and ready if you follow some easy steps:

You can’t beat a good night’s sleep before your flight. Stay fully hydrated and avoid stimulants like caffeine and chocolate. Alcohol can also affect your sleep so limit consumption on and before a flight.

Beat jet lag by living on your new time zone as soon as you can. Nashville is in the Central Time Zone in the States, making it six hours behind London. Use our jet lag calculator for advice from our sleep expert.

Don’t cramp your space with too much carry-on luggage around your feet. Moisturise and use lip balm, take extra layers and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Don’t forget to walk around to keep your blood flowing – as this can also reduce the effects of jet lag.

And once you’re in holiday mode, keep it that way. Book your hotel and car in advance with British Airways to take the stress out of arrival.
